Forensic Biology Colleges

With the popularity of shows like "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," careers in forensic science have become more desirable by students. Forensic science technicians analyze evidence at a crime scene to help solve the case. This can include DNA analysis, fingerprinting, weapons tests and handwriting scans. A Bachelor degree in Forensic Biology or Forensic Science is the first step toward a career in forensic science, a field which is expected to grow by 12 percent by 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
